It's set to the Six Flag theme song.:biggrin2:

Breaking Dawn is the last book, I've been saving it until Eclipse the movie comes out. That's how I time reading the series. The last time I read Eclipse, I was right at the end and on a flight home. The pilot comes over the intercom and tell us we're circling b/c of air traffic. Normally I would be anxious toget home,I wasfine b/c I wasinto the book, than when he tellsus we're landing I'm thinking NO!!! I'm just getting to the good part! I can't b/l you didn't finish the book during that longflight. Did you sleep during the rest of the way? I'm not a good flier. The last time I was there, I kept waking up every hour and all I saw on the map was we're still over the Pacific Ocean, I'm thinking "Ok, Captain~time for super sonic lightspeed."

Shades never been outside except to go to the vet.None of the buns are outside, I take Baci for a walksometimes down the driveway but I carry him.The only thing I can think of is Yeti butShades had the sameissuein March and the last vet said she was going thru a false pregnancy, the fur grew backbut now it started again. I'm just hoping she's ok.

So I've been up since 4am now trying to get everything packed and all the buns set. I fed the girls early so they can go potty before the long ride, they're not happy they can't go back upstairs. Baci is giving me the evil look b/c he's late in coming out. I was a bit miffed at the husband b/c as I'm scrambling to get everything ready, he's on the computer checking email and on FB! He finally gets the hintand helps me vacuum the floor. Think I'm all set to go. Actually would be nice if I put on some clothes before I walk out the door.

If anyone is reading this, please send good wishes for Shades. I'll probably be on line all morning if I can find free wi-fi!

Wishing you good luck!

I read all of the Twilight books in pretty quick secession. I read them so fast that I think I didn't remember how the series started by the time I finished the last book lol. I haven't seen the movies because I didn't want to ruin my own image of the story. In my mind, this beautiful family of vamps is already ingrained in my imagination. I don't want to ruin it by having a human play the role, you know? I think I'd like to preserve what I think is "forever beautiful."

I started to read the novella in the Club, but realized that I wouldn't be able to read it w/o a live internet connection :grumpyMy friend then found a PDF file with the novella already sorta pirated (lol). I slept on the plane a bit and watched some other stuff on the plane... I just didn't feel like reading I guess! I did spend hours organizing my video collection of my bunnies LOL. I have a really hard time sleeping when flying. Occassionally I konk out but it's usually only for an hour or two. I woke up and the flight map still said 8 hours to go -- Bummer!

I'm sitting in the parking lot with the girls. Got here an hr early. I obviously left the house too early. I was so happy to finally see some traffic but it was only for 15 min.. Made a mistake of having coffee on the ride up. The drive here wasn't too bad, mainly hiway. I even drove the speed limit, not 1 mile over. I'm very cautious whenever the buns are in the car. The girls were very good during the ride. Getting them both in the carrier was fairly simple. The top opening in the carrier made a big difference. Poor Cappy gave me this look like I was taking them somewhere and givin them away. It was a sad desperate look that broke my heart. I would never give up any of my babies. The office is open now so here we go with all our luggage!

I just had a scare! My phone just rang and it was the vet's office. It's only 12:30pm and I was told she wouldn't be ready till 3pm. You can imagine how scared I was. I did not want to pick up and my heart was pounding when I heard the receptionist's voice. She called to say they were ready to be picked up and everything is fine. :bunny18I'm going to get my girls now and go home. Will update in a couple of hours!

 

[kirbyultra]

Hooray!!! Thank goodness everything is fine

 

[kirbyultra]

What did the vet say about Shades' fur?

 

[MILU]

It's great to know everything is fine. I was praying for Shades.

I was so scared from the call that when I arrived at the vet'soffice I was in tears. They assured me she was fine and brought them out immediately. Poor Shades was so out of it and Cappy, the protector was shielding her from me. Fortunately the car ride home was uneventful, Shades was more alert which I thought was a good sign. Once we arrived home, Shades ran straight to the potty. She's been upstairs in her hidey box all afternoon. We've been checking on her every 30 mins. I was getting concerned, she hasn't eaten anything. I'm sure she's still in pain. The vet said it may be 48 hours before she eating normal again.

Hubby just went upstairs to check and she was in the potty. She took some apple treat from him and had some mash (grounded wet pellets with pumpkin) he also hand fed her pellets. This is going to be the longest 48 hours! I'm just happy she ate something tonight.

Now back to the check up. I think they must have thought I was nuts when I walked in with 2 carriers,a litter pan and a shopping bag full of supplies.I have to thankboth Kitty andKirby's Helen as I really like Dr. Stanzione. Both girls passed the health inspection. Surprisingly Shades is an ounce heavier than Cappy at 5.2. Hedidn't find any evidence of fur mites in Shades but he did say the skin scraping sometimes will not show mites if they are burrowed deep in her skin. So as a precaution, she was given a dose of Revolution. He still thinks it's from a behavioral problem.

When it was Cappy's turn, I mentioned she was the wild one. He was amused waiting for the "attack". Of course the little bugger decides to be on her best behavior and proved her mommy a liar. She even stayed still when he trimmed her nails! Thisis the same girl who gave mommy a nasty scratch. Ok, I have to admit I was very proud of Cappy today, such agood girl. She was very protective of her sister.

Finally, I was pleasantly surprised when presented with the invoice. Even with Cappy's checkup, the cost was much lower than what we expected!

On way to the vet.

I'm so glad that Dr. Stanzione and his office treated the girls so well! Relieved to hear Shades is doing well postop. I have been thinking about her!

I saw your post to the NYC Buns group and was worrying whether you got Shades' post-op eating question squared away. Poor girl. I am sure she will bounce back after 48 hours though. I take it that the good slave in you has burned up some vacation days to look after the princess? :biggrin2:

So glad that she was given some Revolution. Honestly, there's virtually no significant side effect of Revolution but given Shades' extraction in conjunction, it's best to let the vet decide the best course of action. I think it could be behavioral too, only because if they did contract mites from Yeti or elsewhere (unlikely to begin with first of all) then it ought to be present in both girls and you don't see any symptoms in Cappy. Anyway better safe than sorry when the risk is so low with the drug.

And the girls are not fighting after being out for a day together right?

 

[MILU]

Wow, if Shades used the bathroom as she got home, she's really fine. After MILU has a procedure done to file his teeth (under anesthesia) it takes days before he can do his droppings again... poor bun.
So Shades had teeth pulled? How many? Is she eating well already?

Thanks for thinking of her all the way out there! I do like Dr. Stanzione and scheduled an appointment for Baci next month.

I couldn't get on this site last nite and I was desperate but then she ate a little when hubby hand fed her some mash and pellets. See how we rely on this site for help!

Yes I have 4 weeks and I give them 3! :biggrin2:

If it is mites, I really doubt it was Yeti since she had this prior to Yeti coming here. The hair grew back. Dr. Stanzione said it could have came from the hay.

Shades did chase her out of the hidey box yesterday. I think Cappy annoyed her but no fighting.........then again she's been on drugs and probably not up for it. Hubby said at least she has not teeth now to hurt Cappy.:shock:

Shades has gone to the bathroom a couple times but I don't think she's "out of the woods" yet.

They pulled 4 incisors and she eating very sparingly.

Such a stressful day that I'm developing a headache, something that I rarely get. We gave Shades her dose of pain med and antibiotic this morning. She ate some oats, a little mash and a small piece of apple treat. Than she had a small piece of banana this afternoon and 3 pellets. She was so out of it allday.I was checking on her every 30 minutes going up and down the stairswith the food and beingunsuccessful. Told hubby when he came home we'll have to syringe some CC for her since she wouldn't eat it on her own.


Hubby came home and we gave her the 2nd dose of meds about a hour ago. I just heard a noise and went up to check on them. She's eating pellets on her own!!!!! Yay!!! I sent hubby up to see the greatest site and now she's in the potty!!! Well that made my night! Keeping my fingers crossed my girl is on her way to recovery.

 

[kirbyultra]

I'm glad she's eating on her own!! Does she look like she's having trouble gnashing the pellets? If you feed Oxbow, I know sometimes the pellets are kind of long, maybe break them up a little. The oxbow pellets are great in that they are extruded pretty small in diameter already. Perfect for little bunny mouth. If it really looks like she has trouble then you may have wet her pellets long term so she doesn't have to chew as much. Cutting salads into thin slices like cole slaw may also make it easier for her to insert into her mouth.

She's probably confused why she has no teeth in the front! I know that if anything changes in my mouth after a dental appt I'm thrown off by it for days! I bet she is feeling the same way, plus she's hopped up on medication. It sounds like she is recovering very well though. Hooray!! :biggrin2:

You need to take a nice relaxing shower and get a decent night's sleep, Helen!

She's eating the pellets fine but I think her mouth is still sore. Poor thing is still trying to learn how to pick up her food. It saddens me to see that and I was second guessing whether I made a mistake but I know in the long run it'll be better for her.

I wanted to sleep in later this morning but was up by 5:30am to check on her. I think that's what I dread the most as I walk up the stairs praying she's ok.

 

[hln917]

We decided this morning to rearrange ours and Sebastian's bedroom this morning. After an hour, we come out into the living area and this is what we see:

Somebunny ison top of the stairs p*ssED OFF! We got the "dirty look."

I tried postingthe picture but Photobucket is being uncooperative this morning!
